Verses for Cards, for All Occasions

Welcome Welcome Welcome to Verses 4 Cards :-)Hi, I'm Jon Bratton and I've been called the prolific internet rhymester. I'm retired and I've been rhyming for 40+ years. To the left here << the first navigation button is About Me and below there's a link to my life on Facebook

I take it that you're come here wanting a poem or a one liner for a card or speech. You've come to the right place. All the navigation buttons are on the left of each page but there's also clouds of links at the top and bottom of each page. So, you can read on or you can pop to wherever you fancy..Birthday, Love & Marriage or the Days such as Mothers Day, Christmas and so on. Enjoy....

When you send a greetings card you want nice things to say inside the card. Even if the card already has verses or sentiments, you still have to decide what words to write, usually hand
written, to express personal best wishes. This website brings you both; the one liners, best wishes words, phrases and sayings to include in a card.

All the main sections are listed below

I made this 'poems for occasions' site, with careAnd added a dollop of nicenessThen sprinkled in some pure loveAnd that's what makes it priceless

I'm unaware of writing any rhyming material until I was 24 (in 1972) when a guitarist friend asked me to write lyrics for his musical compositions. Much of this may be found here on my blog

After that I was asked by work colleagues to write poems, usually humorous, for example on Valentine cards or Leaving cards. In 1983 I went to work in the Middle East and I was asked to write a Ma Salama Poem(Arabic for Goodbye) for a work colleague going back to the USA. That was the first of many and these publicly performed poems, starting at about 15 verses eventually became 50+ verses long. Most of these, words and original videos may be found by links from Co-Worker Leaving Poems

When I returned from the Middle East I had an Art and Crafts shop and, working with an artist friend, I started producing Doodle Ditties which were framed caricatures of the "victims' along with humorous verses based on what the customer told me about the 'victims'

This is an example of one that was done for the Players to the Manager of the local Premier Football Team as a promotion for this product. The words of this and many others may be found here and here

I continued writing verses for Birthdays and other occasions for crafters on the forum of my son's website Imag-e-nation now La Pashe
